1t is not so generally known
as we would wish that we have
special department devoted to
Gentlemen's Furnishings.
We do not claim to have all the
high-art styles in Neckwear that
young gentlemen purchase semi
occasionally, paying fabulous sums
for them
What we aim to keep, and do
keep, is a full line of all useful
and desirable Neckwear that we
can sell at medium prices to sup
ply the general wants for reason
able use.
You will find in this department
very large stock of excellent
NeCkwear, in all the leading styles,
at prices very much lower than
same goods in exclusive gentle
mems furnishing houses.
A well-ftting Shirt is the desire
of every man. The rich have
them at $50 per dozen, made to fit
them by "shirt tailor The
mechanic has the same taste and
desire for a good-ftting Shirt, but,
unfortunately, cannot pay so much
money.
Right here came in the manu-
faCturer to lessen cost by large
production. The first attempt at
ready-made shirt-production was
not very brilliant success, and
the custom maker has thrived
upon the first failure ever since.
In ready-made Shirts, however,
there has been a remarkable adj
vance the past two years. The
average human shape has been
studied, proportion great deal
better understood, with the result
that to-day one can buy ready
made Shirt for So to SI2 dozen
that will fit as we'll and last as
long as those at $50
We scored a point when we fur
nished our own cotton and linen,
established our own standard of
excellence and produced all ready
r made, and WELL MADE, Shirts
that we have sold to entire salts
faction as low as So cents.
These Shirts are not laundried,
t so that you can see at glance
Just what the material is and how
we'll they are made.
Then in Undershirts it would be
: hard to even think how we could
l secure for you better or larger
assortment than we can show you
to-day.
AS to quality, none better can
b be made; as to price, none lower
e can be named for the quality we
p give you; as to variety, it is end
: less; as to durability, you will not
# be disappointed. Silk as well as
wooden.
;, In Hosiery we have always been
specially strong; we keep the best
e made in every solid color, in
every combination of color. Light
l. mediums and heavy
h Wooden, cotton, mixed, silk.
. Fancy Hose for embroidered
i, slippers, when you rest your feet
on the fancy foot-rest given you
y by the lady who cares for your
comfort.
d Umbrellas, from the best silk
d one made to the one of palmer
II material. We never touch the
n very lowest useless qualities for
- the mere purpose of saying eve
n have something that you can have
for nothing"
N We heard very bright young business man
say Saturday last that after ALL the reputation
ID of house for fair dealing and excellence lasts
N longer, when once established, than most people
imagine" And then he cited the case of his own
= coming to Worcester, few years ago. Desiring
to buy a medium-priced suit of clothes, he asked
m an acquaintance where to 60
DO The answer was "Messrs So-and-So ask a
fair price for their goods but one thing is very
id certain whatever they tell you may be fully be
W eved." And of course he went there, paid q
20 little more for his things than he might have go
ed them for at some other place, but they did him
royal good service - exactly as the house said
IN they would.
